Data Transfer Using GPRS!

Hi Peeps,

I am writing an application that will be outputting an xml file and then FTPing to an FTP server using GPRS. My question is do the phone providers that charge per usage charge for the file I am sending or a compressed version of it. My output file is only 87 bytes and is in a format of XML. Also in transmission will it increase with communication information to identify the file at the over end?

Thank you for any help,

Jiggy!

Hi,
if you are charged for volume over GPRS, you will be charged for every byte you send, regardless.
Over GSM, you will usually be charged on time

Cheers Pete! The data is tiny so I dont think it will matter. You don't have any code snippets do you for opening a connection and disconnection.

Cheers mate.
